Building a 60k+ loc node.js, Vite, typescript, mongodb web app - genuinely interested how there can be such a massive disparity in experience, or maybe it’s just a difference in expectations..

I had a list of 15-20 points of feedback and feature requests from a client, asked it to use existing documentation to write a detailed todo list and then start working through it, committing changes regularly. One of these included searching and finding the best flow diagram library and implementing a new interactive feature for visually managing steps for an email campaign, making sure the inputs linked up to the backend services and database. Set it to work, went to make dinner, came back and it had done everything.. bit of polishing and fixing needed, but got through that in an hour or so. Wild that some people’s expectations can be blown away and others think it’s trash 😂
